In a statement, Shazam’s global head of content Julian Marshall said “summer 2017 will be remembered for the worldwide impact of Latin songs”:

“‘Despacito’ was already doing well on Shazam when Justin Bieber jumped on the remix – bringing it to a whole new audience. The track sat at the top of our Worldwide Chart for thirteen weeks. J Balvin & Willy William had a Worldwide #1 over the summer too. ‘Mi Gente’ grew to become one of the other defining songs of the summer and has now been at the top of our charts for more than a month.”
